Can I hold onto you forever?

Here’s another spread that I made trying to explore a theme in January

I wasn’t able to finish my painting in time for the gallery deadline, and at first I was very disappointed, but now that I’ve had some time to simmer down I realize that it’s not the end of the world, and I can continue to work on the painting more peacefully and thoughtfully

@evryoneinclouds It’ll be ok!! I think everyone is feeling the strain of life right now, not just me. We have to help each other through it!!

@flatblackwindow im sorry for what youre going through, hopefully it goes well for you 💙 !!!

You know what sucks? That I’ve been working so hard at my job the past few months in order to get a small promotion and therefore, a small raise… which is immediately being used to buy the same amount of gas I could before 🙃🙃

I think it’s better to not spend too much energy on simply complaining, but it really is annoying. I might get another promotion soon, but I feel like even with another small raise, life’s expenses will simply rise to meet it 😭😭

I feel like Instagram likes my eclectic sketchbook spreads more, while Twitter likes my finished pieces more. I suppose that means that I just have to make even more art and see what happens! Life is feeling like a fun game again

@filmchwe You’re too kind!! 😚😚

@flatblackwindow how pretty!

A spread I made when I was very ill last year.

I haven’t made a complete illustration in a while. I’m working on my biggest watercolor ever (18”x24”) and it’s such a challenge, but I believe in it. For now, I’ll post some of my sketchbook spreads

@pussyposum I will have to check them out, thank you!! 🥳🥳

@flatblackwindow hmm i can only think of aphex twin, ichiko aoba, enya and maybeee vangelis and alberto baldan bembo... they give off similar vibes to dirty three

q preciosidad, evoca lo mismo q este disco open.spotify.com/intl-es/album/…

@pussyposum Do you have any other album recommendations? Whether with the same artist or a different artist! I’d love to get inspired for more art 😁😁

@flatblackwindow omg glad you enjoyed it! your art is as mesmerizing too

@evryoneinclouds You’re too kind!! Thank you ❤️ I’m glad that my art is reaching the right people :)

@flatblackwindow you amaze me sm

I’m surprised and happy that people are enjoying my latest painting. I remember struggling with that one so much. It’s good to remember that for a viewer, they can’t see the original picture in your head, only what you’ve made, so they’re not comparing like you are

@namxn3 Thank you!!

@flatblackwindow incredible
